Distillery Label – Linkwood 15 Yo
Spirit Single Malt Whisky Distillery Label – Linkwood 15 yo Country: Scotland Region: Speyside - Lossie - Elgin - Morayshire Producer: Gordon and MacPhail Range: Distillery Label Range Bottling: Gordon and Macphail Bottling Style: Single Malt Whisky Water Source: Springs near Millbuies Loch Age: 15 years – bottled 2018 Cask Type: First Fill and Refill Sherry Casks Colour: Dark Gold Flavour Profile: Sweet with a citrus edge Allergens: not known Bottle size: 70cl - abv: 43.0% The Dititllery Label Range The history of this range heralds back to the very beginning of Gordon and MacPhails - to the days when distillery spirit was produced primarily to be used in blends. Because of the strong working relationships they had with distillery owners, they were allowed to bottle and sell the spirit they created as single malt on the condition that we used their 'house' label with the caption "bottled by Gordon & MacPhail". These relationships have culminated in today's 'Distillery Labels' - a showcase of historical label design. Speyside All Speyside whiskies are Highland whiskies; but, not all Highland malts are Speysiders. What is the difference, why the distinction of the Speyside region? The answer is quite simply the River Spey. From its source in the Cairngorms National Park, the river meanders 107 miles, disgorging into the Moray Firth at Spey Bay. Speyside, located in the middle of the Highland region, is also considered by many the heartland of Scotch production. Today, more than half of Scotland’s working distilleries are located in this region. Geographically, Speyside encompasses the area east and west of the River Spey, partly in tandem with the Morayshire county lines.

We hope you find the information useful and it helps you to make the best of your stay here in Dufftown and the Speyside area. Dufftown, built close to the hamlet of Laichie and originally named Mortlach, was founded in 1817 by James Duff, the 4th Earl of Fife, who financed the venture to provide accommodation and employment for returning soldiers after the Napoleonic wars. Set in the heart of Speyside, Dufftown is situated on the banks of the River Fiddich and the Dullan Water at the foot of the Conval Hills. These excellent water sources make it an ideal area for Whisky distilling. Today it is claimed that Dufftown generates more export capital than any other town in the UK due to the high density of distilleries in the area. Like other villages of the period Dufftown has spacious streets laid out in a regular plan converging at the iconic Clock Tower. As a community thriving on the success of the Whisky industry it became a self contained community providing all the regular shops and businesses as well as saddlers, shoemakers, jewellers, watchmakers, tailors and at one time several undertakers.
